Forget Sara Lee. No One Doesn’t Like Jackie Chan

Forget Sara Lee. No One Doesn’t Like Jackie Chan

From the German TV show Wanna Bet?

Jackie Chan is one of those rare celebrities that becomes universal. He could appear in any country, any language — cooking show, talk show, game show, stage play, movie, whatever — and just be himself. He’s got more in common with Santa Claus or Paul Bunyan or Johnny Appleseed than a movie star.

No one doesn’t like Jackie Chan. And even if you could find someone that didn’t, he could kick their ass and then make friends with them at the same time anyway. 

How The Wild One Became The Mild One

How The Wild One Became The Mild One

Well, things certainly have changed since 1953. Motorcycle gangs are tougher than they were in that movie now, but then again, every dentist and accountant rides a Harley on pleasant Sunday afternoons, too.

A world where a guy all in leather conjures up an image of the third guy from the left in the Village People instead of Brando isn’t all bad, is it? We’ve had an entire generation weaned on Roller Coaster Tycoon grow up and get to work at the amusement park. At least you don’t have to worry about this biker gang riding into town. Takes too long to lay the track.

The helmets and so forth are just a gag, of course; everyone rides it any old way.

Fun!

It’s in the Netherlands, at Toverland.
